Poetry: Being overwhelmed

by Zorlone

  • Writing Level Star

I

seeing things in the light.

With these God given eyes

I see the truth too readily,

others see them in disguise.

III

this promise I made to Him.

My ordination he'll limn.

IV

I kneel to pray so fervently,

cause I still am overwhelmed.

By the grace God has given me,

I'll serve in this mundane realm.

    Just another day...

    Didn't get much sleep last night
